Overview

Haere mai, Kia ora, Hello! Hi! My name is Ngairini. I\'m an experienced Guidance Counsellor (Kaitohutohu ārahi). I support children, young people, adults, elders, couples, families and groups in schools on issues affecting the youth, for awareness, counselling & strategies to assist with these, to work towards a more fulfilled life using modalities I utilise.

Approach and space

I work with my assistance / service dog Stanley who provides emotional comfort for children and all ages. He is friendly and safe with people. He can be patted during in-person sessions; if needed, I can place him in another room, put him on a lead, or we can conduct online via Google Meet. Sessions are generally one hour, negotiable to 90 minutes or two hours if needed. The space is comfortable, private & safe with confidentiality and informed consent. I am mindful of ethical obligations and will follow them to the letter.

Online therapy

I use Google Meet for online therapy. Sessions are typically one hour (negotiable). After a brief introduction, we discuss the presenting problem, goals in therapy and life, and I offer tools / interventions. I will send the invite once time is agreed, and confirm the day before or on the day. There is a cancellation fee if you cancel on the day or no-show. We can book ahead or go session by session. Same options apply for face-to-face or phone sessions.

Qualifications and registrations

I possess a Diploma in Counselling and a Masters in Counselling and the Arts (with some Art Therapy coursework). I have a Graduate Diploma of Teaching and a Bachelor of Visual Art, and a Certificate IV in the Diploma of Interactive Digital Technology. I have twenty-three years as a Counsellor and Teacher in Australia and New Zealand; I\'ve been a Mentor for youth at risk and a Youth Worker.

I\'m a member of NZEI Te Riu Roa, a full member of the QCT, a practicing level 2 member of ACA, a full member of NZ Teachers Council and a practicing member of NZAC.
